Robert Hur defends focus on US President Biden memory in report | BBC News

Lawyer Robert Hur has faced questions in Congress over his final report into Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents.

He told a House committee that his assessment of Biden’s memory, which the report said had “significant limitations”, was both accurate and fair.

In findings published last month, Hur found Biden kept secret documents and stored them improperly. He did not however pursue criminal charges.

The report’s sections on Biden’s memory have been seized on by his critics, with Democrats and the White House accusing Hur of going beyond his remit.

“My memory is fine,” Biden said.

  1. It's easy to prove Biden's a criminal with a lousy memory. Just look at the facts. He's extremely impeachable for that alone. Anyone that think 'he's still got it' is a fool.

  2. If BBC is going to do a report on Biden's "memory problems" then you need to be fair and do a report on trumps memory problems. When trump is speaking he has CONTINOUS gaffs. Show that!!!

  3. Speaking softly is now a problem? Are you effing kidding me? And where is the discussion of the transcript that just came out, pretty much wiping away the case that his memory is any worse than anyone's?

  4. Yet again in the interests of 'balance' the BBC present both sides without actually investigating who is stating facts and who is telling lies or stretching the truth. The Dems clearly showed, for example that Biden actually did say when his son died and the Republican 'Special investigator' stated Biden had a memory. But they repeat the Republican agenda to discredit Biden. Under cross examination the special investigator couldn't even remember what was in his own report and he is a lot younger than Biden. Hay but in the interests of balance lets just ignore facts and repeat gossip, it's a lot more fun!

  5. End of Empire…decay of US ..UK on its coat tails. This is 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  6. Shame on you BBC – you need to do better. Your reporting here is wrong and dangerous!! This hearing changed a lot when Hur was cross examined and was shown to be a liar. Transcripts actually revealed that Biden had a photographic memory. You fail also to mention taht the purpose of the original report was to show that Biden had wrongfully hidden documents – Hur actually found no evidence.

  7. Shouldn't it be the courts who decides if Joe Biden is or is not fit to stand trail??? Shouldn't the courts decide if he improperly held and distributed classified documents???
    This is like watching a DOJ investigator calling off the investigation, because they did find wrong doing.

  8. Hur was trying to please everyone so he ended pleasing none. If you got a job like that, just quit even if you've got a ton of financial burdens. It's not worth it. He would've had a better time being a full-time partisan which he really is.

  9. Yeah, sorta, they had him so full of potent drugs for the State Of The Union Address that he'll stay up on them a week or so and fall on his face the following week. Then his Whitehouse keepers won't allow him in public for two or three weeks as he comes down and his mind is screwed royally!!!!

    Maybe he should be re-ask all those questions the next time he's supposedly so "Focused" but he'd probably just start lying and say, "I can't remember" doh ……. Get Real People, he knows DAMN Well how those papers got where they were and what he did with them !!!!!!
